Talk about nervous! Here I sit waiting on my first to be born. My wife went into labor an hour ago. I have spent the last 14 years in the field as a paramedic and i have never been so nervous. I feel like a whore in church!

That feeling will go away quickly. You will soon realize you are in the exact place you are supposed to be.

Enjoy this time and the years to come. They will go FAST!!!! Our son is 24 as well. The early years are hard physically the latter one mentally. The early years kids are so much fun and then they become teenagers. Then as the mid 20s come they start to realize how much they appreciate the efforts of the parents.

Do you know if boy or girl or the name?

By the way from this point on your will now be known as “Dad” or “Johnny’s Jane’s or who ever’s Dad. LOL

Once the baby is here...you will find that you have NEVER loved anyone, like you will love your child.

Definitely stay topside! I held the oxygen, kept my mouth shut, stayed calm and cut the cord! Only 17 min of actual push and out. Her doctor turns the pain meds down so patient can feel contractions to push.

Also don't make jokes about her crapping everywhere haha. My wife didn't thank god!

You never realize your full potential as a human being until you have stewardship of a life that you helped create. Yes your life will change and it will be the most wonderful epic experience of your life. Congratulations.

Theres nothing better than raising your children.. Time will fly...
With that being said, here's some pertinent info for you:

your perspective on life is going to change who you are and what is important to you...

You're going to discover that anyone in management or supervisors above you that do not have children are about to possibly become the enemy........

They simply do not comprehend the focus on family..

They might say stupid shit like " well my dog is like my child" type shit...

Except it's not. I'd take a bullet for my kids. I've work countless hours of overtime so my family can enjoy a
Meaningful life. Nobody's dog is as important as your kids....

Good luck, enjoy the ride..

Btw, if you haven't already figured it out yet, everything your wife says is right, and everything you say is wrong.

Lol.

Now hold the F' on, time is no longer the linear deal it has been. Yesterday, or yesteryear:confused:

When my wife hatched our first two, I made my decision not to seriously piss her off again...no pain meds, and ramped on some type of natural nitro. Our 3rd was a smash and grab (C-sec). She said that sucked, the others weren't bad:eek:

I have been super blessed, i have a really close family that will do anything for each other. I look forward to getting to raise my boy the way my dad raised me and my brother. River time in the summer, desert in the winter, we built numerous custom cars/hot rods/sema trucks, those are all my best memories. My wife is by far the toughest person i know and lets me have some leash. Hell she just let me buy/build a custom 2dr tahoe for my son before he was even born.


I have to say life is good. Work hard, be honest and genuine and some how we will all get it back in the end.
